"" WHICH ONE WORKS ?? "

[New England Moments]

This is a Scene from the 1840 Era.... Although it says B+W due to the time period, I also feel the color brings this scene to Life....

Its almost like a natural view in B+W which portrays the period in time, but the color also shows how time views' it now...

Its almost to me like a re coloring of an old classic Movie, some liked the ole Film untouched, left alone, while others prefer the re-do...


Soooooo which do you prefer??

and any and all Critique on the photos welcome, Let it Rip!

I prefer the B&W, but the colors are beautiful in the second also. You always take GREAT photos, an this is just another example.

aammoore.... Thanks so much!! I got a feeling that the b+W might prevail, due to the era of this scene,,, the color, as I said however, just brings it to life... kind of like the Wizard of Oz movie... When the house came down, and Dorthy opened that door, and the drab B+W came to color!! and by the way, with this reply from you, I've decided to up your checks in the mail lol !!

i think they would be better with a solid border instead of the gradient.

i prefer the second edit.

 

[New England Moments]

Hi NEM

The B+W looks better to me. (I didn't like the colored versions of old films either )

 

[Iamme]

It's the seond one for me, and just for the record I LOVED The Wizard of Oz......

Since it has the postcard look, I would say the second one if the that chopped of third building was cropped out. Just one more opinon

I think the B&W looks better because there is so much punch in the green and yellow's of the color taken some of the focus away

Color! Our world is full of it, it is meant to be seen.

 

[New England Moments]

Kruger....Thanks..... hmmmm not sold on the re=makes of movies either 50/50

Iamme.... Thanks, and ya know , to this day I still watch parts or all of the Oz
Classic every year myself... just great memories,,,

mysteryscribe,,,,, Hey careful now lol... postcard/ calendars are us!!
Thanks for leaving a comment .... !

Holy Ghosted.... You could be right.... Thanks!

Tyson... I agree, but sometimes it's nice to see a B+W showing how times
were----> Hard Times ...

I really like them both. I think it depends what your going for... the black and white gives a somewhat eerie feeling (maybe I've been watching too many scary movies!), and the color gives a beautiful peaceful feeling.

I can't pick! I like them both for very different reasons.

Like you said, the B&W gives it that circa 1800s feel. But the colors are so vibrant in the color photo - it just makes me happy and I want to go have a picnic there.

Guess I'm no help....

I like them both, however, I am leaning towards the b&w. In color I focus more on the grass and trees. In the black and white I see the details of the bricks and the lines in the wood. I love it. Great shot either way.
